masterblaster72 0 #1 October 1, 2015 A fine read: http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/the-evil-empire-of-saudi-arabia-is-the-west-s-real-enemy-a6669531.html QuoteIn the 14 years that have followed 9/11, the Saudis have become more aggressive, more determined to win the culture wars. They pour money into Islamist organisations and operations, promote punishing doctrines that subjugate women and children, and damn liberal values and democracy. They are pursuing a cruel bombing campaign in Yemen that has left thousands of civilians dead and many more in dire straits. So, what does our ruling establishment do to stop the invisible hand of this Satan? Zilch. The Royal Family, successive governments, parliamentarians, a good number of institutions and people with clout collectively suck up to the Saudi ruling clan. I have not seen any incisive TV investigation of this regime. We know it is up to no good, but evidence is suppressed. Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,590 #2 October 1, 2015 Former CIA agent Robert Baer released the book "Sleeping With the Devil" 12 years ago, giving the history of Saudi Arabia, and outlining how the Saudi's have bought the US officials. Robert Baer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Baer "Sleeping with the Devil": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_with_the_Devil One thing has changed since then: The US is no longer dependent on Saudi oil, so there is no valid reason to keep kissing their feet. But our govt officials continue sucking up to them."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.
